SFs performed better on improving the equivalent initial flexural strength and equivalent residual flexural strength than HPPFs.
These protocols exploit higher data rate transmission from the sender to its helper and from the helper to the recipient to replace the lower data rate transmission from the sender directly to its recipient, thereby improving the equivalent data rate from the sender to its recipient and decreasing the transmission time of a data packet.
The inclusion of this factor, and/or its interaction term with fruit compounds or abundance-related variables, generally improved the equivalent models in which 'animal species' was excluded [see Supporting Information ].
The structure under consideration is simulated by the shear beam model, and hysteretic dampers are used to improve the structural equivalent damping ratio and stiffness and thus to reduce the seismic responses.
The channel estimation method uses the information carried by pilots and data to improve the estimate of the equivalent channels for the path BS-RN-UT.
In order to improve the performance of the equivalent wind method, incoming winds are classified according to the MWSs and the positive/negative semi-VWSs.
Although RV and its alkaloid metabolites could improve the blood fluidity, the equivalent amount of TMPZ in RV failed to show the bioactivity of promoting blood circulation.
On the one hand, in [5 7], it is proposed to use a priori information about pulse shaping and receive filtering in order to improve the estimates of the equivalent discrete-time channel model.
Using a clinical PET scanner, Ibaraki et al. reported the influence of random events and scatter coincidences from outside the FOV when using a 3D-mode PET scanner as well as the utility of a neck shield, which improved the noise equivalent count ratio by reducing the scatter effects [4].
To improve the prediction accuracy of equivalent linear analysis in a wider parameter space, equivalent linear model recommended in codes is modified through introducing a factor, which is related to ductility ratio, post-to-pre yield stiffness ratio and initial period of seismic isolation system.
